Commentary: Senate colleagues say Bunning is most partisan

Kentucky's Sen. Jim Bunning was identified by his Democratic colleagues as the Senate's most partisan Republican in a survey by The Hill.

The newspaper, which specializes in covering Congress, reported that several Democrats said Bunning is so irascible that they don't even try talking to the Hall of Fame pitcher unless it's about baseball.

That will come as no surprise to Kentuckians who have known Bunning's surly side for years.
